Here's one of my favorites:
"Our time is a time for crossing barriers, for erasing old categories - for probing around. When two seemingly disparate elements are imaginatively poised, put in apposition in new and unique ways, startling discoveries often result." -Marshall MacLuhan

your quote rings true. art is what you can "get away with". i'm not sure it is that simple in my mind. this is all a fun game of opinion, of course....and why do museums have agreements with native americans about controlling and owning their ancient art?

oh no. just offended all museum curators. i love museums. i just learned of some more sad facts about native american oppression.

so now that i've found someone to talk about art.

does anyone find that attention and/or lack of, corresponds to the intensity and length of the muse?

i'm 48 and feel like art is just starting to come out as i learn about attention and the brain. and let my traditional views of art slide away.

so is creativity regulated by brain function solely or is there really an outside energy that our brain feels sometimes more than others??/

There is a docko called Accidental Genius running lately.There is a doctor on there who says he can trigger the creative drive with certain impulses.It only lasts a bit, but it means that it is there in everyone.I'm not sure what other implications are there for artists.

What is 'creativity' some think there is no original thought. is creativity fluid ions, love, nothing, sonar, gas, that unknown elelement is is creativity in my mind? a word only.

sound waves, shock waves, dolphin waves, was is it?

and why doesn't anyone care about who owns art? i guess my real question is if an artists wants to share their art but the government or whoever says you may not because it isn't art. you create for no audience. do you create a secret audience, but now the feeling of the experience of the art is changed.??
